Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta team up with award-winning filmmaker Costa-Gavras (Z, Missing) in a fierce tale of ratings-driven TV news gone mad. Travolta is Sam, a misguided museum guard who loses his job, then tries to get it back…at gunpoint. Hoffman is Max. a local TV reporter taken hostage with schoolchildren when Sam locks down the museum. It is a desperate move for Sam, a career move for Max. He is on the inside of a live exclusive. Now he must give Sam’s story a heroic spin, keep a cynical network anchor (Alan Alda) at bay, and keep America watching. As Max pulls the strings, the stakes grow higher, darker, madder.

I saw this movie when it was in the theater...and completely forgot it even existed until I saw this announcement.

I'd much rather have had WAG THE DOG, a movie with a similar news-spin-related plot, but with a much more potent angle and better writing. It, too, is a film held by Warner Bros. Stars Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro, and directed by Barry Levinson. So much more relevant now than when it was made. Oh, and, it has a music score by Mark Knopfler.

Yes Wag The Dog is great.
